My tcprules allow for the whole 4.17.165.0 network, and I have other servers
(including the web server) on that network that Relay through the qmail
server fine. It's this javamail thing that contacts qmail directly that
doesn't work.
The webserver sends mail from the qmail server like a local desktop would,
I think. Or maybe I just don't get exactly what RELAYCLIENT does.
